24
+ # pytest-twinport
25
+
26
+ Pytest plugin that gives your tests a free TCP/UDP port, without collisions
27
+ between tests running in parallel.
28
+
29
+ The usual recipe, `bind(0)`, read the port number, close the socket, has a race
30
+ condition: between closing the socket and starting your server, anyone else can
31
+ get the same port. With many E2E tests running at once, this shows up as random
32
+ `Address already in use` failures.
33
+
34
+ `pytest-twinport` keeps the port reserved for the whole test, across processes
35
+ and across separate pytest runs. It needs no daemon and no lock files.
36
+
37
+ ## Installation
38
+
39
+ ```bash
40
+ pip install pytest-twinport
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ ## Usage
44
+
45
+ Use the `twinport` fixture to get a port reserved until the end of the test:
46
+
47
+ ```python
48
+ def test_server(twinport):
49
+ server = start_server(port=twinport)
50
+ ...
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ Use `twinport_factory` when a test needs more ports:
54
+
55
+ ```python
56
+ def test_cluster(twinport_factory):
57
+ ports = [twinport_factory() for _ in range(3)]
58
+ ...
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ Use `lease_port()` for any other fixture scope, or outside of fixtures. Make the
62
+ server fixture depend on the lease, so that the server stops first:
63
+
64
+ ```python
65
+ import pytest
66
+ from pytest_twinport import lease_port
67
+
68
+
69
+ @pytest.fixture(scope="session")
70
+ def server():
71
+ with lease_port() as port:
72
+ process = start_server(port=port)
73
+ yield process
74
+ process.stop()
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ `lease_port()` can also be used without `with`. Keep the returned object for as
78
+ long as you need the port, because a garbage collected lease is released:
79
+
80
+ ```python
81
+ lease = lease_port()
82
+ start_server(port=lease.port)
83
+ ...
84
+ lease.release()
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ If your server can bind to port 0 and report the port it got, you don't need
88
+ this plugin. It is meant for servers that must be told their port up front, such
89
+ as external processes, Docker containers and services configured by a file.
90
+
91
+ ## How it works
92
+
93
+ Ports are split into fixed pairs: an even _guard_ port and the odd port after it.
94
+
95
+ 1. Pick a random pair and bind the guard port. `bind()` is atomic, so only one
96
+ process can succeed.
97
+ 2. Check that the odd port is free.
98
+ 3. Give the odd port to the caller and keep the guard bound.
99
+
100
+ Other processes can't take the pair, because they fail on the guard. When the
101
+ process ends, even with `SIGKILL`, the kernel closes the guard. Nothing stale is
102
+ left behind.
103
+
104
+ The lock lives in the network namespace of the process that holds it, so it only
105
+ protects ports used in that same namespace. See the note on containers below.
106
+
107
+ Ports are only chosen outside the ephemeral range. This matters: outgoing
108
+ connections take their source port from that range at any moment, and they know
109
+ nothing about guards. Linux, macOS and BSD report the range, Windows uses a fixed
110
+ assumption (see [Platform support](#platform-support)). On Linux, ports listed in
111
+ `ip_local_reserved_ports` are skipped too.
112
+
113
+ ## Guarantees
114
+
115
+ | Scenario | Protected? |
116
+ | --- | --- |
117
+ | Tests in one `pytest-xdist` run | Yes |
118
+ | Separate pytest runs in one network namespace | Yes |
119
+ | Pytest runs in separate network namespaces publishing ports to one host | No, see below |
120
+ | Outgoing connections from anything on the machine | Yes, leased ports are outside the ephemeral range |
121
+ | Server restarting during a test | Yes, nobody else gets the port |
122
+ | Crashed or killed pytest process | Yes, the kernel releases the port |
123
+ | Software using a fixed port in the same range | No, the port is only checked when it is leased |
124
+ | Port allocation by other tools | No, every allocator has to use guards |
125
+
126
+ The port is free on TCP and UDP, on IPv4 and IPv6, and the first bind works
127
+ without `SO_REUSEADDR`. A server that restarts needs `SO_REUSEADDR` as usual,
128
+ because its old connections can keep the port in `TIME_WAIT`. Every lease uses two
129
+ port numbers.
130
+
131
+ A process created with `fork()` without `exec()` inherits the guard, and the
132
+ port stays blocked until that process ends too. This can last for a whole test
133
+ session, but can't cause a collision.
134
+
135
+ Containers with their own network stack have their own ports, so tests running
136
+ inside them don't collide. That changes once they publish ports to a shared host,
137
+ for example when pytest runs in a container and starts other containers with
138
+ `docker run -p PORT:80` through a shared Docker socket. The guard is then in a
139
+ different namespace than the published port, so two such runs can get the same
140
+ port. To avoid this, run pytest with `--network host`, give every run its own
141
+ `TWINPORT_RANGE`, or let Docker choose the port with `-p 80` and read it with
142
+ `docker port`.
143
+
144
+ ## Configuration
145
+
146
+ Ports are chosen from 15000-65535, minus the ephemeral range. To change this:
147
+
148
+ ```bash
149
+ export TWINPORT_RANGE=20000-30000
150
+ ```
151
+
152
+ `lease_port(port_range=(20000, 30000))` does the same for a single lease.
153
+ Ephemeral ports are left out in both cases. If no pair can be leased,
154
+ `NoFreePortError` is raised. This also happens when the ephemeral range of the
155
+ system covers nearly all ports, and then the only fix is to make it smaller.
156
+
157
+ ## Measurements
158
+
159
+ `scripts/stress.py` runs parallel processes that repeatedly get a port, wait up
160
+ to 2 ms like a starting server, then bind the port without `SO_REUSEADDR`. It
161
+ counts failed binds. These are the results of three runs. Each run used 16
162
+ processes, 8000 allocations in total and a range of 200 ports (Linux, 6 cores):
163
+
164
+ | Method | Collisions |
165
+ | --- | --- |
166
+ | `lease_port()` | 0, 0, 0 |
167
+ | Random port checked by bind and close | 15, 16, 15 |
168
+ | `bind(0)` and close | 1, 0, 0 |
169
+
170
+ `bind(0)` is not limited to the small range, so it collides less often in this
171
+ test. An additional run of `lease_port()` with 32 processes and 64000
172
+ allocations had 0 collisions too.
173
+
174
+ ## Platform support
175
+
176
+ The tests pass on Linux, macOS and Windows. BSD systems have not been tried out.
177
+
178
+ There are two limits on Windows:
179
+
180
+ - A bind to a wildcard address does not conflict with a bind to a specific
181
+ address. Ports are checked on wildcard and loopback addresses, so a service
182
+ listening only on another address of the machine is not detected.
183
+ - The ephemeral range is not read from the system. Ports from 32768 up are left
184
+ out, which covers the default range. If the range was changed with `netsh` to
185
+ start lower, set `TWINPORT_RANGE` to stay out of it.
186
+
187
+ ## Development
188
+
189
+ ```bash
190
+ uv sync
191
+ uv run pytest
192
+ uv run ruff check
193
+ uv run ruff format
194
+ uv run mypy
195
+ uv run scripts/stress.py
196
+ ```
197
+
198
+ ## Releasing
199
+
200
+ Set the new version in `pyproject.toml` and commit it. Publishing a GitHub
201
+ release then runs the tests, builds the package and uploads it to PyPI. The
202
+ release fails if its tag does not match the version:
203
+
204
+ ```bash
205
+ gh release create v0.1.0 --generate-notes
206
+ ```

210
+ These get a free port for a moment and don't reserve it, so they have the race
211
+ condition described above:
212
+
213
+ - [pytest-asyncio](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-asyncio/) has the
214
+ `unused_tcp_port` and `unused_udp_port` fixtures and their factories, based on
215
+ `bind(0)` and close.
216
+ - [anyio](https://pypi.org/project/anyio/) has the `free_tcp_port` and
217
+ `free_udp_port` fixtures and their factories. They work the same way, and the
218
+ TCP and UDP ports are checked on both IPv4 and IPv6.
219
+ - [pytest-unused-port](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-unused-port/) has an
220
+ `unused_port` fixture based on `bind(0)` and close.
221
+ - [pytest-server-fixtures](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-server-fixtures/)
222
+ picks a random port below the usual ephemeral range, on a random loopback
223
+ address.
224
+
225
+ These coordinate between processes in other ways:
226
+
227
+ - [portpicker](https://pypi.org/project/portpicker/) by Google, which inspired
228
+ this project, solves the race with an optional `portserver` daemon.
229
+ `pytest-twinport` is not an integration of that library.
230
+ - [pytest-services](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-services/) has a
231
+ `port_getter` fixture that keeps the list of used ports in a shared lock file.
232
+ - [pytest-postgresql](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-postgresql/) marks its
233
+ port with a file in the temporary directory of the test run, which coordinates
234
+ `pytest-xdist` workers.
235
+ - [portkeeper](https://pypi.org/project/portkeeper/) keeps reservations in a JSON
236
+ registry protected by a file lock.
237
+
238
+ These solve neighboring problems:
239
+
240
+ - [port-for](https://pypi.org/project/port-for/) manages persistent port
241
+ assignments. It avoids the ephemeral range as well.
242
+ - [ephemeral-port-reserve](https://pypi.org/project/ephemeral-port-reserve/)
243
+ forces an ephemeral port into the `TIME_WAIT` state before releasing it.
244
+ - [portlock](https://pypi.org/project/portlock/) uses a bound port to make sure
245
+ that only one instance of a script is running.
246
+ - [pytest-localserver](https://pypi.org/project/pytest-localserver/) provides
247
+ test servers that bind to port 0 themselves, so they don't need a free port up
248
+ front.
